Interesting article , I would suggest that Trump followed the Johnson/Cummings / Farage model .

Populism Is at times attributed to right-wing groups and leaders like Trump, who has tried to use illegal immigrants as a populist media grab .

However In recent years left-wing movements have used populism such as Spain's Podemos , Greek Popular Unity,Social Democratic Populist Party in Turkey , some commentators say Jeremy Corbyn's politics is the next populist political movement and /or Brexit or UKIP ,which may explain why we are where we are with the likes or Boris its left v right populism and a slice of something else in between .


In South America populism grows from within right and left wing political spectrums .
